Make Sure You Get Paid: Payment and Commission FAQs

How often will I receive commissions?
Commission payouts are sent on or before the 15th of every month provided your commission balance meets your selected minimum payout amount. The lowest minimum payout limit you can select is $10 USD. Commission totals less than your selected minimum payout amount will be carried over until such time as your balance meets your selected minimum.

What methods can I select from to receive commissions?
We currently offer commissions payments by mailed check, bank wire, or PayPal.

Where can I change how commissions are paid to me?
You may update your Preferred Commission Method and Minimum Payout Amount at any time from within your account. Simply click the Preferred Commission link along the left edge of our WebSite.

What happens to unpaid commissions if I deactivate my account?
All unpaid commissions (if any) are automatically forfeited if you deactivate your account.

Where can I update my payment information?
This is also changed from within “Account Info”. Scroll down to the bottom of the page where you will see the “Preferred Payment Method” section.

As an Affiliate, do I need to send in any paperwork?
Yes. The required simple documentation can easily be accessed from within your account. However, you may begin building your business immediately (before we receive your documents).

Ditch the Script

Building your business with GDI is a lot like many other businesses. You need to build connections, add great people to your team and work to making money each and every month. While it may be easy to compare GDI and network marketing to a sales job, this is not true in many ways. Not the least of which is marketing and selling with a script. Duplication is powerful when it comes to network marketing, but duplication doesn’t mean marketing and talking to each potential new team member in the same way. To be successful in building your team, you need to “ditch the script.” Here’s why:

Everyone joins GDI for their own reasons. Surely most people join because of the chance to make Income for Life, but the road that led everyone there is different. Following a specific script to get people to join your team can make you seem rigid, robotic and like your standard sales person, and who wants that? It’s OK to have a base of ideas to market to people and to talk with them about, but try to tailor those ideas to each individual you reach out to. Take the time to learn more about your prospects before telling them about yourself and your opportunity. After hearing their story, you will be better able to relate to them and explain why GDI is the perfect opportunity for them specifically.

So join a team that gives you the tools to duplicate their success, but take the time to put your own spin on your marketing strategy with each person you connect with. This personal touch won’t soon be forgotten.

Sources of Support

Network marketing is most effective and lucrative when you have a strong network and passionate team. Unfortunately, this isn’t always the case. Some people will not have a responsive upline, some people will have trouble getting in touch with their upline and some people will just fall off. That’s where we come in offering you support you might not be able to get from your team. When you need help, advice, or encouragement, check out our sources of support.

Blog

You’re already here, so you know that the Affiliate Blog is a great resource for support. On the blog we share tips and motivation and try to respond to your needs and questions. Take the time to use the “search” box on the blog if you’re looking form something specific. If you can’t find it, leave a comment and we will be sure to write a post addressing your issue.

Facebook, Twitter

Have a question you need a quick answer to? Hop on social media. We are always monitoring tweets and posts on our Facebook wall and are happy to answer your questions. Social media is also a place where you can ask questions of your fellow affiliates. Even in you can’t get in touch with your upline, someone on social media will be happy to answer your question.

Webinar

As you hopefully know, we hold biweekly webinars (register here: www.register.gdiwebinars.ws) to help answer your questions, give you motivation and share advice from some of our top affiliates.
